Watchman, tell us of the night

Author: John Bowring Hymnal: The Hymnal #109 (1950) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 Watchman, tell us of the night, What its signs of promise are: Traveler, o'er yon mountain's height, See that glory-beaming star! Watchman, doth its beauteous ray Aught of joy or hope foretell? Traveler, yes; it brings the day, Promised day of Israel. 2 Watchman, tell us of the night; Higher yet that star ascends: Traveler, blessedness and light, Peace and truth, its course portends. Watchman, will its beams alone Gild the spot that gave them birth? Traveler, ages are its own, And it bursts o'er all the earth! 3 Watchman, tell us of the night; For the morning seems to dawn: Traveler, darkness takes its flight; Doubt and terror are withdrawn. Watchman, let thy wanderings cease; Hie thee to thy quiet home. Traveler, lo, the Prince of Peace, Lo, the Son of God, is come! Amen.
